Other Testimonials

“Stuart approached me for my current role as a BMS Consultant at Savills, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in the building services space.

What set Stuart apart was his genuine understanding of the industry. He wasn’t just matching CVs to job titles — he clearly knew what the role involved, what kind of candidate it required, and how to articulate that to both sides. That made a real difference throughout the process.

He kept in regular contact, was always straightforward and honest, and made what can be a drawn-out process feel well-managed from start to finish.”

Jon McKenry

Savills

“Stuart’s approach to the process of recruitment into my current role at CBRE was professional and supportive throughout, and I would definitely recommend him to others. The change from a commercial consulting business into the real estate sector was not something I had considered previously and Stuart’s open approach to communications helped to create a good understanding of the differences and similarities. His continued attention through and past the onboarding process was appreciated. I am definitely now less stressed by work, although I am no less busy.”
